Is there a way to create a folder in an attachments tab? We have versions of image files we want to see but would like to be able to create a folder for 'old photos' or something like that within the attachments tab to help sort/seg the attachments.

    Hi John,

    There currently isn't a way to create folders in the attachments tab. When you have a moment, submit a Product Enhancement Request using the form under Quick links on the right of the Community site to let our Product team know you'd like to have this functionality in a future version of Smartsheet.

    There was a feature request added in 2016 for this - which received 100% positive comments - wonder why it wasn't created.. I searched for it (because I kind-of need it) and found these threads - a the moment I run a separate file system as I can have up to 150 files over 7 folders associated with each 'line' it would be way too messy in smartsheet..

    Agreed. This would be a very helpful feature.

    Hi there, I'm following up on this comment regarding the ability to create subfolders under attachments. Has there been any progress on this request?
